[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

In addition, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more.
[0040] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application embodiment provides an uninterruptible power supply, including: a first power board M1, a liquid cooling plate 3, a second power board M2, a first power device group arranged on the first power board M1, and a second power device group arranged on the second power board M2.
[0042] The liquid cooling plate 3 is stacked between the first power plate M1 and the second power plate M2 to dissipate heat for the first power device group and the first power device group; the liquid cooling plate 3 includes an inlet 31, an outlet 32 and a cooling channel 33 connecting the inlet 31 and the outlet 32, and the cooling channel 33 is used to contain the coolant.
[0043] The first power device group and / or the second power device group include a temperature-sensitive component 4 and multiple power components. Along the flow direction of the coolant in the cooling channel 33, the multiple power components are located in front of the temperature-sensitive component 4.
[0044] The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) provided in this embodiment includes two power boards, namely a first power board M1 and a second power board M2. Power components are arranged on the power boards to enable the operation of the UPS. The two power boards employ liquid cooling, with a liquid cooling plate 3 located between the first power board M1 and the second power board M2. This liquid cooling plate 3 provides heat dissipation for all power components on the first power board M1 and / or the second power board M2, i.e., double-sided heat dissipation. The liquid cooling plate 3 includes an inlet 31, an outlet 32, and a cooling channel 33. Coolant enters the cooling channel 33 from the inlet 31 and exits the liquid cooling plate 3 from the outlet 32. When arranging all components on the power boards, temperature-sensitive components 4, which are highly temperature-sensitive, are given priority for liquid cooling, followed by other power components. Therefore, in arranging the power components of the UPS in this embodiment, the cooling channel 33 design prioritizes heat dissipation for temperature-sensitive components 4 to ensure the overall lifespan of the UPS, followed by heat dissipation for other power components, thus ensuring liquid cooling for all power components.
[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the uninterruptible power supply includes a first power board M1 and a second power board M2 connected together, and a liquid cooling plate 3 located between the first power board M1 and the second power board M2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the first power board M1 and the second power board M2 include a housing 1, and the two housings 1 are fastened together to form the outer casing of the uninterruptible power supply. To ensure the strength of the housing 1, multiple reinforcing ribs 11 are formed on the housing 1. A control board 2 is also arranged on the housing 1. The orthographic projection of the liquid cooling plate 3 onto the first power board M1, i.e., the area A covered by the cooling plate, is shown below. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple power components are evenly distributed on the first power board M1 and the second power board M2, and the cold plate coverage area A covers the area where the multiple power components are distributed to ensure that the liquid cooling plate 3 provides liquid cooling heat dissipation for all power components. Among them, the lifespan of the temperature-sensitive component 4 is inversely proportional to the temperature rise, so it needs to be prioritized for heat dissipation. In one embodiment, the temperature-sensitive component 4 is a bus electrolytic capacitor.
[0046] It is understood that the uninterruptible power supply provided in this application provides power components arranged according to the power flow direction, and the power components are arranged at an angle in conjunction with liquid cooling. In one embodiment, the power components of the uninterruptible power supply are arranged along the flow direction of the cooling channel 33, and priority is given to heat dissipation for the temperature-sensitive components 4.
[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, inlet 31 and outlet 32 are located on the same side of liquid cooling plate 3;
[0048] Cooling channel 33 includes inlet channel 331, outlet channel 332, and multiple bend channels 333 connecting inlet channel 331 and outlet channel 332.
[0049] The inlet flow channel 331 is along the first direction, i.e. Figure 2 Extending in the Y direction, multiple bends 333 include a first bend 333a, which is adjacent to the liquid inlet channel 331; the orthographic projection of the temperature-sensitive component 4 on the liquid cooling plate 3 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first bend 333a on the liquid cooling plate 3.
[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the overall shape of the cold plate is a flat cuboid, with a rectangular heat dissipation surface. The inlet 31 and outlet 32 are located on the same side of the rectangle. Cooling channels 33, communicating with the inlet 31 and outlet 32, are arranged along the rectangular surface. The cooling channels 33 include an inlet channel 331, an outlet channel 332, and multiple bends 333; the inlet channel 331 is a straight channel and flows along a first direction... Figure 2 Extending in the Y direction, multiple bends in the flow channel 333 can reduce the flow rate of the coolant and extend its residence time, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. Among the multiple bends in the flow channel 333, the bend in the flow channel 333 that is directly connected to the inlet flow channel 331 is the first bend in the flow channel 333a. When the temperature-sensitive component 4 is arranged on the first power board M1 and the second power board M2, there is an overlap between the orthographic projection of the temperature-sensitive component 4 on the liquid cooling plate 3 and the orthographic projection of the first bend in the flow channel 333a on the liquid cooling plate 3. This allows the low-temperature coolant flowing in from the inlet flow channel 331 to preferentially dissipate heat for the temperature-sensitive component 4, thereby improving the service life of the temperature-sensitive component 4.
[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the liquid outlet channel 332 extends along a first direction, and the liquid inlet channel 331 and the liquid outlet channel 332 are arranged along a second direction on both sides of the plurality of bend channels 333; the plurality of bend channels 333 are arranged along the first direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The first direction is... Figure 2 In the Y direction, the second direction is Figure 2 In the X direction.

[0053] In some embodiments, the bent flow channel 333 has at least one bend, the presence of which can reduce the coolant flow rate, thereby prolonging the residence time of the coolant at the bend and improving heat dissipation efficiency. In one embodiment, the bent flow channel 333 is L-shaped; in another embodiment, the bent flow channel 333 is U-shaped; in yet another embodiment, the bent flow channel 333 is N-shaped; and in yet another embodiment, the bent flow channel 333 is M-shaped.
[0054] It should be noted that the shape and / or size of each of the multiple bent flow channels 333 may be the same or different.

The temperature-sensitive component 4 is positioned close to the bottom short side of the first power board M1 and covers the corresponding area of the first bent channel 333a in the cold plate coverage area A. Definition Figure 3 The four temperature-sensitive components are arranged horizontally. (Along) Figure 3 In the Y-direction, the second power component 6 is located between the first power component 5 and the temperature-sensitive component 4. The heat dissipation priority order on the first power board M1 is: temperature-sensitive component 4 - second power component 6 - first power component 5.
[0058] In one embodiment, the temperature-sensitive component 4 is a bus electrolytic capacitor, the first power component 5 is a power inductor, and the second power component 6 is a power switch and a heat sink. The heat dissipation priority on the first power board M1 is: bus electrolytic capacitor - power switch and heat sink - power inductor.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the layout surface of the power components on the second power board M2 is rectangular. The second power board M2 contains a temperature-sensitive component 4, a first power component 5, and a second power component 6. (Refer to...) Figure 2The liquid inlet channel 331 extends along the long side of the liquid cooling plate 3 from the upper short side to near the bottom short side. The temperature-sensitive component 4 is positioned close to the bottom short side of the first power board M1 and covers the corresponding area of the first bent channel 333a in the cold plate coverage area A. Definition Figure 4 The four temperature-sensitive components are arranged horizontally. (Along) Figure 4 In the Y-direction, the second power component 6 is located between the first power component 5 and the temperature-sensitive component 4.
